Who was Cassandra?

In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

Ruahines 3: A Rocky Pool

A Rocky Pool. 11" x 4 1/2", acrylic on paper.

This was a bigger painting with a stream running out of a forest above this section. I didn't like the top of it and cut it off; all the energy was in this pool. I like how even though the scene is in New Zealand, it felt to me as if it could be in the Adirondacks, or anywhere in northern New England or eastern Canada.
